If you didn't read the book (like me), I'd probably stop watching that trailer at about 2 minutes. Feels like major spoilers. What the fuck Amazon.

Just doing a semi-annual check in on my portfolio. Pretty boring year so far?

Watched based on the recommendations in this thread. This was great. The whole thing is a lean 90 minutes that doesn't waste a second of your time. The animation... frame rate? is off-putting for the first few minutes and then you get sucked in and it just fades to the background. The actual...

God damn I love Marvel. Great finals.

In this case, the answer is a bit more boring: automatic sale of vesting RSUs to cover tax obligations To further put that number in context, Stephen Cohen still owns something like 15 million shares of PLTR according to the filing. Guy's incentives are aligned.

As someone who also thought Control was amazing, don't waste your time with Alan Wake 1. Imagine if one OoP had its own spin-off game, but the object was a book and your character is the author--that's about as much relevant cross-over as you get/need to appreciate. Some people thought the story...

IMO Grummz is a trash source who regularly exaggerates and lies for views. There was no fine. There wasn't even any government response. A privacy firm filed a complaint based on a customer pissed about always-on connectivity. Ubisoft was collecting the same always-on crap for SP games (time...

Was pretty funny watching the gameplay reveal, then watching this. Can I play this game instead?

Here's a fairly innocuous example from my own mortgage: If I choose 2 payments or if I choose 1 payment and add $1,000 principal, what I'll see at the bottom of the screen is submitting for a $2,000 payment that will come out of my bank account. I think it's more about homeowners educating...

Yep. It's really something you'll want to re-evaluate at the time you plan to start cashing out. OTOH, you might want to just switch to actual cost now so you don't fuck up in 10 years by selling one share and locking in everything prior. Once you're on actual cost you can change the order you...

Cost basis is how capital gains are calculated--it's the official price you bought the stock at. You only pay taxes on the sale price (or reduce ordinary income by the losses) above and beyond the cost basis--the capital gains. I buy a share for $100, I sell it for $120, I am only paying taxes...

I wish I could know how I'd react to that trailer without having seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That show completely poisoned the Sam Wilson character for me, and I don't think Mackie has the star quality to pull me back in. Agree with @Juvarisx on the tone, though. That said, I remember...

I was curious about this as well, since S&P 500 makes up 100% of my portfolio. Specifically, about using 200D as a metric for market timing to sell and then buy back in. Below is a chart that shows every day the S&P500 was <=14% above the 200 day moving average since 1960. The chart then...

Last large post from me on the CPI derail. Firstly, I agree that every soundbite an administration posts about interpreting inflation, jobs, wages, "preliminary" numbers are all bullshit and politically motivated. The Biden admin claiming "fastest growing economy" by using a baseline of the...

Okay, chart crimes aside... this will be a long one, but I want to lay out my POV. I'll start with the money supply, then move to 8% inflation. First, regarding the 'shape of the curve', it's easier to get a high r^2 when you compare two "total volume" datasets that both go up. Something that...

This guy is a fucking scam artist. Don't trust him. Look at this fucking chart: Just look at the axes: Left - S&P: 1100 to 5100 = 360% increase Right - "Global Liquidity": 90 - 170 = 90% increase And this piece of shit is trying to convince people that the value of the assets of the largest...

+1 for Doom Eternal. Definitely more mechanically complex than 2016 (probably harder on a first playthrough? I haven't played 2016 in a while), but as a result you feel like more of a god when you're in the flow. Top 5 game for me--combat is so crisp and punishing. Dark Ages trailer looks...

I was like, that's crazy, didn't they just make Gurren Lagann...? 17 years ago.

I don't understand why halving would do much to the price outside of driving less energy-efficient miners out of business. Doesn't Bitcoin auto-adjust the difficulty of its algorithm to average one block every 10 minutes or so regardless of how many or few miners there are? And most of the...

It's possible. Corporate finance is part of my background, and I definitely can't do the technical stuff most people in this thread do, yourself included. What I mean is if you value UNH solely based on its cashflows and you thought a consistent growth rate was actually pretty close to the...

Isn't this more of a cash flow thing? Like, if you're throwing off ~$20B FCFE a year with modest but consistent growth and ridiculous stability, at some point there's a price low enough where that cash stream is valuable. If your thesis is "this is gonna happen for a long while", the lower the...

Letter from the CEO to employees regarding the closure. Employee leaked all private financials, partner info to Kotaku. That is one article I will definitely read: Edit: Looks like there's a bunch of studios bundled together under one parent company, and this is just the latest subsidiary to...

Been quite a while since I read X-Men. Let's see what's up. Hmm.

Edit: No specific plot spoilers, but broad impressions of the comic having read it end-to-end:

I had a similar experience. Had an uncle who was into sci-fi, he gave me A Fire Upon the Deep when I was a kid and I really couldn't make sense of it. Came back to it as an adult and couldn't believe what I was reading.

For those unfamiliar: Also the year Justin won EVO UMVC3 beating Champ and Chris G in the finals. Crazy to think that was a decade ago.

This is a pretty great idea given that What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way was more or less a real-life response to The Authority in the first place. Would probably make my top 5 Superman stories of all time. Also has one of my favorite panels--stuck with me for over two...

The data in the blue chart/article suggests that a shorter-term 1-3 year post-recession hold might still be a good play. The question I was trying to answer beyond that was "is it still worth holding for 15+ years?" Specifically, I was trying to refute that point you saw about "missing out on...

I guess devil's advocate would be that FSMAX took a relative beating the last few years, so any 'last X years' stat is going to look pretty poor. Here's a chart with both equivalent indexes on a 10-year slider. Move the slider at the bottom around and you can see there were plenty of similar...

Two things: First, in settings > UI, you can turn on or off crosshair indicators for fuel/flame belch/chainsaw/grenade when off cooldown. This lets you keep your eyes in the center of the screen (thought they were on by default, but maybe not). Second, you'll develop a 'rotation' focused on...

You've got it right in your edit. Some stuff you might want to look at (last one is most important): Returns If you want to compare two funds over a specific timeframe, using charting tools is a good way to do it--most will automatically normalize the start date so that the growth rates are...

You're not wrong about the data, but I'd be cautious about trending the nominal % gap. The size of the gap you're seeing is really more about how much overall gain the markets experienced in the 20 year span. Compare starting in 1980 to 1995 from the 20 year chart--Nominally, one shows a 1124...

I wanted to address this because I think it's a fair criticism. Let me say I'm also an amateur--I'm not drawing a salary from investing and I work full time in a non-related field. I learned most of what I know in college and at that time made the decision that I didn't have the aptitude or...

Short answer: Confirmed! Sell it. Long answer: Let's talk international markets! Way back when the dinosaurs roamed, there was a theory that holding international made sense as a hedge against the US dollar and US monetary policy. The past 25 years or so has not borne that thesis out. IXUS...

Cash makes it all a bit wonky. This is all from the SEC filing: Form S-1/A Initial share price: Basically, they sold 500k shares for $20M then bought as much Bitcoin as $20M could purchase when trading opened. This had the effect of setting the opening per share price to $40ish. That's...

Thanks for reminding me to play this. Heard good things. Is currently $15 on Steam, which for me was worth it vs free on EGS.
